Implicit measures is the general name for measures of semantic associations and/or automatic evaluation. This page provides links to demonstrations and information about various measures that were developed to assess associations in general and automatic attitudes specifically.

Demonstrations: By running the study from this link, you can see demonstrations of most of the implicit measures. Just select the measure that you wish to see.

To learn about the IAT, it is best to visit Brian Nosek's IAT page, or Tony Greenwald's page. For more demonstrations (other than those at the top of the page), go to the IAT demonstation website. For a demonstration in your native language, search for your flag here.

The single-target IAT measures association between one category and two attributes.

Karpinski and Steinman's version:

Karpinski, A., & Steinman, R. (2006). The single category implicit association test as a measure of implicit social cognition. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 31, 949–962.  

I prefer Wigboldus' version, which is more similar to the original IAT (In two studies, each with n > 1000, I found no difference between Karpinski's and Wigboldus' versions).
I don't think that there is a published introductory paper for Wigboldus' ST-IAT. I have seen it cited in a few different ways. For instance:
Wigboldus, D. H. J., Holland, R. W., & Van Knippenberg, A. (2004). Single target implicit associations. Unpublished manuscript.

A published paper about the method:
Bluemke, M., & Friese, M. (2007). Reliability and validity of the Single-Target IAT (ST-IAT): Assessing automatic affect towards multiple attitude objects. European Journal of Social Psychology.

There is also a single-attribute IAT, with two categories and one attribute:
Penke, L., Eichstaedt, J., & Asendorpf, J. B. (2006). Single Attribute Implicit Association Tests (SA-IAT) for the assessment of unipolar constructs: The case of sociosexuality. Experimental Psychology, 55, 283–291.
